Rain Street

The church bell rings

An old drunk sings

A young girl hocks her wedding ring

Down on Rain Street

Down the alley and the ice wagon flew

Picked up a stiff that was turning blue

The local kids were sniffin' glue

Fuck or else for a kid to do

Down on Rain Street

Father McGreer buys an ice cold beer

And a short for Father Loyola

Father Joe's got the clap again

He's drinking Coca Cola

Down on Rain Street

Bless me Father I have sinned

I got ... and I got pinned

And God can't help the state I'm in

Down on Rain Street

There's a Tesco on the sacred ground

Where I pulled her knickers down

And St Anthony gazed in awe at Christ

While Judas took his measly price

Down on Rain Street

I gave my love a midnight kiss

I tried to take a late night piss

But the toilet moved so again I missed

Down on Rain Street

I sat on the floor and watched TV

Thanking Christ for the BBC

A stupid fucking place to be

Down on Rain Street

I took my Eileen by the hand

Walk with me was her command

I dreamt we were walking on the strand

Down Rain Street

That night Rain Street went on for miles

That night on Rain Street somebody smiled
